Pros

1. Great sized company. Works will all the big players in the Finance space but is still has a small enough feel for consultants to build their own reputation and become leaders within the company 2. True meritocracy - there is no established timeline for promotion to the next level. I have seen candidates accelerate up the ranks quickly or more slowly and it always seems appropriate based on merit 3. Hands on Partners. I see Partners roll up their sleeves and serve as integral members of project teams when needed, as opposed to just selling and managing relationships 4. Great culture - diversity, individualism, and fun is encouraged and has always played a large role in Capco's history 5. Abundance of training available 6. Management has a track record of being candid and transparent

Cons

1. Nature of Work can be repetitive at times (can be pro or a con, depending on your preference) 2. Internal Operations has not scaled as company has grown (Finance, Account, support, etc.) 3. Brand Recognition - Capco has a ways to go in this department. Unless you working in finance / consulting, most people are largely unaware of Capco.

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
